Vehicle description. This is a 1938 Chevrolet Master De Luxe (Long wheel base) sedan with factory installed trunk. The vehicle has not been started in thirty years. The engine and mechanicals look to be complete. The wheels do not turn. The body is in good shape expect for a crease in the passenger side rear fender. The glass is all intact and the hand-crank windows work. The interior is intact except for no carpets. The floor pans at the front are rusted through on the driver's side. The horn button is missing. The glass in front of the gauges is intact. The glove compartment is stuck - possible locked - so we cannot tell if the factory installed clock on the front is wind-up or electric. The vehicle does have a possibly after market period correct heater installed. The headliner is good. The trunk opens and the rod that holds it up works properly.

There are two small empty (non-factory) parking lights attached under the main headlights. A search for lenses for them has not yielded positive results. Removing them - as they are not stock - would probably be the best option.

The vehicle has no title. Museum records indicate it may last have been registered in Tennessee. There is an old Tennessee license plate in the trunk.
